Road and Sidewalk Maintenance

Public Works is responsible for maintenance of all roads within the City limits, except for Georgia’s Highway 8 and 324, that are maintained by the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT).

Local Assistance Resurfacing Program

To promote good stewardship of City resources, roads are prioritized using a pavement management system, and the City is able to supplement its paving budget by partnering with the Georgia DOT in the Local Assistance Resurfacing Program (LARP). Public Works issues an annual contract for provision of roadway patching and resurfacing services. Public Works personnel also handle pothole and sidewalk repair.

Water Distribution System

If you live in the City limits of Auburn, you probably are served by the City’s water utility. Auburn’s water system is supplied by water from both Gwinnett County, and Barrow’s Bear Creek Reservoir. The City has two water tanks that store water for high demand periods, and water pressure stabilization.

Water Testing for Water Quality

Public Works personnel also test the treated water for chlorine and fluoride residuals, an indicator of water quality, and water is tested monthly for microbial contamination. Auburn’s water is tested annually for the presence of more than 57 contaminants, giving Auburn’s citizens a high level of confidence that their water is safe.
